When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Hepatotoxicity, including jaundice, hepatitis and hepatic transaminase elevations exceeding five times the upper limit of normal, has been reported in patients receiving ritonavir alone and in combination with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors or other protease inhibitors. In addition, ritonavir is primarily metabolized by the liver and may accumulate in patients with hepatic impairment. Therapy with ritonavir should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting liver disease, liver enzyme abnormalities, or hepatitis. Ritonavir is not recommended for patients with severe hepatic impairment.
